Les married Cheri Fitzgibbon on May 9, 1964 at a ceremony in Tobias. Together, they had two children: Kyle and Kevin. Les passed away at Heritage Crossings in Geneva on Sunday April 23, 2023 at the age of 89. Les grew up on the family farm west of Milligan and attended District 44 for his elementary years, and then Milligan High School, graduating with the class of 1951. After graduation, Les attended the Lincoln School of Commerce for one year and then began a career as the bookkeeper for the Farmer's Co-op in Milligan. He worked for the Milligan Co-op and eventually Farmers Cooperative for 53 years, finally retiring fully in 2009 at the age of 75. The only exception to his continual work at the Co-op was when he took time off to serve in the U.S. Army from 1956-1958, spending one year in Korea. After retirement, Les spent most his time following the activities of his grandchildren and helping on the family farm, particularly driving truck during harvest and keeping an eye on pivots during the summer. Les was preceded in death by his parents Louis J. and Rose Svec; in-laws Adolph and Evelyn Dlouhy; brothers Lloyd Svec and Louis Dale Svec; brother-in-law Larry Fitzgibbon and nephews Dave Fitzgibbon and Eric Fitzgibbon.
